ArchQ and its EVL kernel

Tinkering

Hi, I’ve just installed ArchQ from the latest ArchQ-2026.03-x86_64.iso, with the help of Claude (as without, the install would have tons of problems), but the kernel that I’ve installed is not the EVL version. I got Claude to find and install 6.6.87-rt54-arch1-6-rt-lts, which is as close to real time as I could get, but still not the EVL version, which is what is supposed to make ArchQ specific for audiophile use (amongst other uses).

Can anyone confirm if they have the EVL version installed ?

Thanks

The ONLY thing a real time kernel does is that it guarantees a maximum upper bound of execution times. This has zero to do with anything audiophile
